Have you FOUND a normal heavy weapon yet?

[Hole2Head]

I'm a man of dakka. I like my heavy weapons, and the higher the rate of fire, the better. Fortress World appealed to me because Never Stop Shooting is absolutely my thing. But so far, I haven't found any heavy weapons I can use. I've got a Death Spitter Cannon, but I don't have Drukhari weapon proficiency. I got a heavy bolter, but I ain't no heretic, so I can't use it. The only other heavy weapons I have seen require a lot of trading, more than I have at the moment. I'll certainly try to collect these weapons but for now... You'd think the on-board armory would have at least a heavy stubber, but alas. Seriously, I found a plasmagun before I even left the first planet.

Did you find one somewhere while exploring? Let me know where you found your heavy weapon and I'll set off as soon as I can to go get it myself. Been saving my first respec for this purpose.

40 hours in I've found a heavy bolter (non heretical) and a melta ultima.

[katzenkrimis]

I have, 42 hours in.

Looks like a bazooka. Requires 60 strength so nobody in my party can use it.

Also requires a special faction/race skill.

Where did you find the heavy bolter? Do you remember?

Ive found heavy stubber somewhere in optional encounters and multi melta i think on kiava

You can buy heavy bolter( think explorators), calibrated heavy stubber(kasballica i think) and heavy flamer(drusians for sure)

I am aware of the buyable weapons, but those require some hefty payments, which I already outlined in my original post. I'll try to buy them later on in the game.

Also those fortress world talents are generally not worth it.

Just grab arch militant, you do 2 attacks per turn passively + 1 after heroic act, then if you want even more run & gun.

Eh, whether they're not worth it or otherwise is up to me to decide. If they work they way they say they do, then I think those talents are worth it. I'll go do some exploration then. Seems that's the best bet I've got for now. Will be a good chance to level up some more too.

taking heavy weapon proficiency trait lowers the strength requirement by 15. so down to 45, which is reasonable IMO, if an investment

by 25 to 35 for heavy bolter.

Do you remember where you found the heavy melta?

[Jasta]

Several heavy stubbers, a heavy bolter, a heavy melta... not THAT far in. Can't remember where the melta was but I don't think it was particularly secret.

Aurora should drop one, I think. I definitely picked up a heavy bolter somewhere in Act1. You can also get one from traders.

That's the heretic one that everybody talks about. Can't use it. Sticking dogmatic and iconoclast.

[Zsrai]

I'm pretty sure I got a Heavy Drukhari weapon of some kind in Act 1, but obviously not one can use it so I can't tell you if it's any good.
